Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 85 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he standard for choosing conversion or dismissal based on “the best interest of creditors and the estate” implies a balancing test to be applied through case-by-case analysis. In the end, the determination is a matter for sound judicial discretion.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. In Re BTS, Inc. · Loop Corp“We review de novo the propriety of classification”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“There is some authority for the proposition that a plan may classify trade creditors separately from, and treat them more generously than, other creditors if doing so is necessary to a debtor’s ongoing business. See Hanson, 828 F.2d at 1313 ; Greystone, 948 F.2d at 141. The integrity of Lumber Exchange’s argument, however, is belied here by the plan’s own terms. The proposed plan treats trade creditors less generously, not more. Accordingly, we conclude that this proffered justification for separate classification is not legitimate.”
